The K1 PCIe controller and PHY are affected by the PERST signal from
the link partner during initialization. With some devices connected,
this can prevent host initialization from progressing and cause the
system to hang while probing the PCIe controller.

Set PCIE_IGNORE_PERSTN before accessing the DBI registers. When set,
this bit makes both the PCIe controller and PHY ignore the PERST
signal from the link partner.

This allows host initialization to complete without being affected by
the link partner's PERST state.
